The Cardinals are considered to be the oldest team, tracing their roots back to 1898.

The shortest-lived NFL club? The Tonawanda Kardex ... Played one game in 1921 ... They went 0-1, then folded

Probably the oldest and yet the Cardinals are only 10th in all-time wins. They also have the 2nd worst win-loss percentage with only Tampa being worse. They have been mostly bad during their franchise history.

Fun fact: When the Cowboys franchise began in 1960, they were originally going to be called the “Dallas Steers.” Owner decided he didn’t like it, so they were leaning towards becoming the Dallas Rangers. There was already a minor league baseball team in Dallas with the name Rangers though, so they eventually settled on Cowboys.

Thank God.
